Leo wants the job
- Thread starter Diego
- Start date
Did he say that? Am not sure if he did.

He said it without saying it for me. Mentioned ‘my team’ a lot too. He wants it but I’m sure he won’t get it thankfully

He’d better not get it, otherwise I for one will have lost all faith in Steve Gibson
Nothing against Leo, definitely keep him on the back room staff, but this is not the job for him

He was asked the question directly this morning.

Would you rediscover that faith if he achieved acceptable results? Or is that it?

Not saying he should get the job, however if you look at experience of coaching at different levels Leo’s CV is far more impressive than other candidates that have been mentioned. If he is offered the job, even short term I’ll support him but as with any other manager/coach he’ll stand or fall by his decisions. I hope it’s the former.

Good stuff. They certainly played for him at Millwall last weekend.

I mean.. he has been put in temporary charge.. he's won one home game and lost one away game. He represents a third of our wins all season and is currently averaging 1.5 points per game. Chris Wilder was under 1 point per game.
If he carries on this average to the end of the season.. we will finish on around 62 points. Over 50% improvement on Wilder.. which is impressive in itself, but not enough unfortunately to make it to the playoffs.
After the Norwich game we would have been expected to be on 18 to 20 points with Wilder 25 games after that
If Leo has us near 26 points after the Norwich game we will have seen a marked significant improvement. 31 points puts us back on track for the playoffs
After the Norwich Game we have 25 games left of the season
18-20 Points - EMERGENCY BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES 17th to 24th
21-25 Points - FINISHING OUTSIDE OF THE PLAYOFFS IMO 7th to 16th
26-31 Points - THE PLAYOFFS ARE MOST DEFINITLY STILL ON! 5th or 6th
32+ Points - GET YOUR HOTELS BOOKED.. COS WE'RE GOING UP 3rd or 4th

It would just be typical Gibbo, trying to do it on the cheap, see Southgate, Woodgate and Agnew
This appointment has to be right, otherwise we’re in the brown stuff…

I'm glad he's saying he wants it.
If he said 'I don't want it', what type of message does that send?
Of course he won't get it, but I'm glad he wants it and has his heart in the club.
Top man Leo, and I hope whatever happens, he stays with us because his presence around the place is just priceless, however he's not the right man to lead us.

I fully agree but if it happens we might as well get behind him until it actually isn’t working. That’s the interesting thing about football and the Championship in particular, sometimes you just don’t know it will all work out.

He didn't deny he wanted the job when asked about it.
Seemed fairly clear that he would take it if he was offered.

I've been holding off with the revised 'nerdy graph relegation battle special'. Let's just get above that 50 points line, eh?

Have we actually been speaking to the other rumoured candidates? I know we've spoken to Carrick but I don't think we've actually spoken to Rob Edwards yet have we, despite him being linked?
This is what's confusing me with regards to what the strategy is. I can understand in one way Gibson wanting to take his time and not rush into anything, but are we actually interviewing people?
The longer this goes on for the more likely I think it will be that it will be a team of Cattermole, Leo and Agnew.

He is no less proven than some. His hands are tied with regards to changing things as he probably thought he’s only here for a couple of weeks and he is trying to keep morale up. If he wants to showcase his stuff then I would expect to see something more radical like a formation change and a bit more bite. Wouldn’t be my first choice. Yet.

Last seasons curve would be helpful.. just to see how Warnock did at the start compared with Wilder. The blue line is Woodgate’s season.. pretty rough. Hopefully we can get our act together!!
